THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE - DFO gets a truck and hops on Schneider's IC Choice Program

Where in Cali you headed. I would drop down and take the I 40 if you can. Avoid those fuel sucking snow bound mountains!

 

Fontana, btw, comp driver here, not I/C........yet

 

So we had a delivery right next to the Sapp Bros(salt lake city) truck stop the other day and the dispatch said they were 24/7 but after we arrived (and hit arrived) we found no one anywhere on the property. They opened at 8am so were dropped the trailer then. Later that day ICA msg and asked why it took so long to drop. Think we may get detention for that one. Then we took a load up to Vancouver WA, Frito Lay on Saturday and we had a pick up there as well but because of the weather no one had come to work to load our trailer so they said come back Monday. Had to sit in Portland til this morning and we are getting detention for that one too. Now we are headed home to phoenix with this load but we have to go back through Idaho and Utah because the bags have elevation restrictions.

 

Nice! I think! Hopefully the detention pay works in your favor.

 

oops, thought you were IC, my bad. You should still be able to run the I-40 tho if you want to. However chance you could hit snow in Flagstaff. As SNI says "check your local weather reports" : ) If I remember correctly that is about an 2000 mile run, going down I44 to I40 way is about 2100 that's only 5% out of route.. I just did that run first of Jan. Nice load!

 

Well we couldn't find another load out anyway and it was already a good payer down to Phoenix so we just hung out at Jubitz for a couple of days. And the detention is $300 so yeah that'll work. 👍

 

Flag is going to be in the 50's all week so no snow worries except maybe melting lol.

 

Yep that works! good one!

 

Careful coming to Charlotte on Wednesday, weather outlook is crappy to say the least. Predicting 6-9 inches of snow and ice to finish it off come Thursday.
